My mom keeps giving me pista and other dry fruits saying its good for baccha. I like them na but just want to know if its actually fine to eat daily in pregnancy. Anyone?
Yes, pistachios are excellent but in moderation. My nutritionist told me that they are rich in protein, fiber, and healthy fats which are great for baby's development. She advised having just a handful (around 4-5) of unsalted ones daily.
I was so scared to eat dry fruits in my first trimester because people say they cause heat. But my family supported me and said mild quantity is totally fine. Just eat 4-5 unsalted pistas daily, it will give u and baby great nutrition, don't worry!
Of course, pistas are very good for health during this time! Just make sure you are eating the plain, unsalted ones and not the heavily salted roasted ones. A small mix of almonds, walnuts, and pistas daily is perfect for your energy levels.
Haan bilkul khao, pista toh bohot accha hota hai. Bas dhyan rakhna ki excessive mat khana kyunki garam hota hai thoda. 4-5 pistas a day is more than enough, excess of anything is bad.
I ate a few pistas daily during my pregnancy and they are very safe. Just make sure to get your thyroid and other blood tests done regularly as per your schedule. Your doctor can guide you if you need any specific dietary changes.
Pistas are generally considered healthy, but it's always best to check with your gynac once before adding anything new to your daily diet. Every pregnancy is unique, and they will tell you the exact quantity that is safe for you.
I am planning to conceive soon and I've been adding pistas to my morning dry fruit bowl too! They have good folic acid and iron which I heard is super important. Are you soaking them before eating or having them directly?
